A lovely stay in a pretty cottage

We received a very warm welcome from Sarah on arrival. The cottage was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean throughout. The beds were comfortable and our children especially loved the attic bedroom. The cottage is well located for lots of local attractions: we visited RHS Wisley, Box Hill and Hampton Court Palace. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Charming cottage

My family stayed in the cottage in December, it was charming and homely and had a decorated Christmas tree in which was a lovely touch. The cottage kitchen is well stocked and organised with everything you need. It is a quiet location an easy stroll from Ashtead village. Plenty of parking and a large garden should you stay in the summer months. My folks would happily stay again. The property owners were punctual, professional and friendly with communication. Thank you very much!

Heavenly Hosts!

We booked this property as the location ticked a lot of boxes for us regarding the activities we had planned for the duration of our stay. I'm not familiar with this part of the country, but it is a truly beautiful setting for a truly beautiful cottage. Sympathetically and tastefully renovated and furnished to a very high standard, it was a pleasure to stay in this lovely property. There was everything we needed for our stay, with a gorgeous high street 5 minutes drive away for our provisions. Train links into London are excellent. Top hosts who made us feel very welcome - nothing was too much trouble. We are hoping that our stars align again to give us an excuse for a return trip!

We stayed for a second time at this property and it could not have been any more perfect! Clean, spacious, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The communication and welcome from Sarah was beyond what we expected-she even took our shopping delivery in when we were running a little late! They have put so much care into the property- always making improvements and ensuring everything is convenient and beautiful! We are already getting ready to book our next visit. Thank you Sarah and family!

Lovely cottage in a great location

Sarah and Greg could not have been better hosts and the cottage was lovely. There was a well served local train station with a short journey to Victoria and Waterloo and we loved exploring London each day but retreating back to this tranquil spot. The cottage has been beautifully renovated and to a high standard and there was plenty of space/facilities for the four of us. All the pre-arrival communication with Sarah and Greg was really timely, helpful and accurate and they were there to greet us when we arrived and to say bye as we left. Am sure nothing would have been too much trouble for them...not that we had any problems to raise! Overall, we had a great stay in this lovely property and hope to return again.

Amazing!!

We had the best time at this property. Communication throughout the booking process was brilliant- Sarah was extremely helpful as we’d had a problem with another property and booking with her was easy and a pleasant process. When we arrived at the property, Sarah showed me around, giving detailed instructions and had even left the most thoughtful gestures as it was my birthday. The property was clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable for 5 adults. Sarah even came to see us off and checked that we had had a good weekend. We will definitely be booking again to stay at this property- if only I could give more than 5 stars!

A wonderful weekend break

Sarah was most welcoming and accommodating and the property was spotless, very well furnished and well kitted out. The outside space was a real bonus and the location was excellent for enjoying the local Surrey nature spots. We highly recommend this cottage, we had a super time and would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you, Sarah!

Clean and tidy cottage

We enjoyed the newness and the quality furnishings etc. It was comfortable and well equipped and the owner was pleasant to deal with. Wifi could have used a boost, and we would have liked to know that it was a semi-detached house as we felt we had to keep the kids quiet which wasn’t ideal.

Sarah is such a welcoming and accommodating host. She has an easy smile, a warm setting and attention to detail that really made the experience so smooth and enjoyable. The house is impeccably put together. Carpet is so soft your feet sink in and the sofa just makes you want to live there. Beautiful setting, brand new, crisp linens and power shower.
